Short History of
From
Rome
By Guglielmo Ferrero
Assisted by Corrado Barbagallo
Two Volumes. 8
Volume I. The Monarchy and the Republic, from
the Foundation of the City to the Death of
Julius Caesar, 754 B.C.-44 B.C.
Volume II.
The Empire
The leading ideas of the work are those which
Ferrero has developed in his Greatness and Decline
of Rome; and the method of setting forth his facts is
the same too. Only the sketches are necessarily
shorter, the narrative more concise and swifter, as is
proper in a book intended for the use of classes.
The most novel feature in the author's method
of exposition is, that instead of that method being, as
is the case in almost all textbooks, diffuse, it is organic.
This work does not contain a piecemeal account of
wars, reforms, political crises, the progress of civilization and of culture and economic developments as
isolated facts.
On the contrary, the facts are brought
into relationship, with the result that a well-rounded
and organic impression is conveyed. It is the method
which Sig. Ferrero pursued in his large work and to
which in part that work owes its success.
